I may have been dreaming, but I thought I saw a rifle in this caliber with a 50 round magazine. Now that sounds like fun.

Heard the president of FN America on GUNTALK. He was talking about how and why they designed the round. Pentegon approached them, asking them to come out with a sniper bullet that wouldn't over penetrate and hit the person behind. He said the round would go in straight 11", do one turn and then stop. Based on that , it didn't sound like there would be tumble effect. And yes, was originally designed for rifles. Hesaid the second request of the Pentegon was a round that a soldier could use both in his pistol AND rifle, so the FN P90 and FN pistol were designed side-by-side. It was an interesting interview. All the programs are archived and searchable if anyone wanted to hear it.

It is actually the gun Major Hasan used to kill 13 of his fellow soldiers at Fort Hood acouple of years ago. Very good but expensive gun. As suggested, it is essentially a tweaked .22 magnum which would be quite a bit cheaper.
